Washington had his ups and downs in his first season running Paul Johnson’s option offense. He completed a shade less than half his passes with 11 touchdowns and 8 interceptions.

Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson says starting quarterback Tevin Washington needs to continue to improve or he will fall on the depth chart.

Johnson was speaking to the competition that awaits Washington this spring. The coach was complimentary of Washington's play last season, but the reality is there are a couple of QBs that are chomping at the bit to take over.

Georgia Tech quarterback Tevin Washington threw for 185 yards and ran for 136 in a 38-31 win at Duke.

Washington’s 321 total yards marked a season high and it was the fourth time – all in the last six weeks – that he had 100 yards rushing. A 39-yard run in the fourth quarter gives Washington 10 TDs on the ground in the past five games. Sat, Nov 19, 2011 04:44:00 PM

Georgia Tech quarterback Tevin Washington threw for 185 yards and ran for 136 in a 38-31 win at Duke.

Washington’s 321 total yards marked a season high and it was the fourth time – all in the last six weeks – that he had 100 yards rushing. A 39-yard run in the fourth quarter gives Washington 10 TDs on the ground in the past five games.

The junior only attempted 9 passes on the day but ran all over the Clemson defense. Though he had an interception, Washington made up for it with his legs, rushing for a 3-yard touchdown. Washington has scored a touchdown one way or another in every game for the Yellow Jackets this season, and his one score Saturday led GT to a big conference upset.

The yards were not easy. Washington, who struggled through the air, had a career-high 32 rushing attempts -- and they were all pure rushing attempts as he was not sacked on the day. While passing is secondary in coach Paul Johnson's offense, Washington was only 6-of-19 for 114 yards and one INT.

"I knew I was going to have to make some plays in the running game," said Washington. "Just making sure I didn't try to do too much and just do my job." Washington was heavily involved in Paul Johnson's offensive gameplan, seeing 35 of the team's 79 total plays. An underrated passer, his 8:1 TD-INT ratio and 19.6 yards per attempt would lead the ACC if not for his unqualified status. Operating primarily out of the triple-option, his three touchdown performance gives him a total of twelve on the year.

Georgia Tech quarterback Tevin Washington ran for 131 yards on 28 attempts, and added 41 yards through the air in a loss to Air Force.

He was picked off on the 'Jackets last play of the game, and laid on the field for some time prior to walking off. Washington was every bit as good as Josh Nesbitt as a runner down the stretch, and showed much better touch on his throws than his predecessor. He heads into 2011 as the presumed starter, and has tons of upside.

Making his first career start, Georgia Tech quarterback Tevin Washington threw for 101 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 122 yards against Miami.

Not a bad showing for the rookie, and though it's a small sample size, the 'Jacket offense looks like it will be just fine for the rest of the season and beyond. Maybe its the system and not the player, huh?

With starting quarterback Josh Nesbitt sitting the spring out (ankle), Tevin Washington appears to have cemented his status as the backup and heir apparent to the Rambling Wreck signal caller, as he accounted for four scores in today's spring contest.

Three rushing touchdowns and a 70-yard pass certainly scream it's the system and not the player here. Washington rushed ten times for 35 yards and completed 6-of-7 passes for 122 yards. With the physical demands of Paul Johnson's option offense, Washington is a must-own handcuff for Nesbitt owners, and those in keeper leagues would be wise to draft and stash here.
